<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 2876946, member: 15199&quot;]Would tooling be the proper designation where holes for attachment chains or cords were filled in a rare silver coin by a plug from a less valuable same composition coin and smoothed out for display or selling? I realize few have the skills and patience of old time artists/engravers, but I knew of a couple who practiced this very well for people willing to pay until about the 1970s. When the coins sold, there was often no mention of &#039;plug&#039; unless it was done by a lesser technician. Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
